About this ebook
In this volume the human race begins its expansion into outer space, only to discover that for centuries a multitude of other races has already been interacting on a cosmic scale. Eleven exploratory ships carrying humans escaping a degenerating Earth are discovered by a more advanced space-faring civilization, the Ildaran Empire. The empire helps the refugees - by now the several-generations-later offspring of the original voyagers - settle suitable planets and sends diplomats with a few of them to Earth to establish trade and diplomatic relations.
Meanwhile, both Terran and Ildaran authorities bring hidden agendas to their first-contact discussions, and asEarth attempts to become a player in this new arena, its ambassadors are thrust into a foreign world of alien life forms, backstabbing politics, bitter feuds, and a deadly struggle to become the supreme force in the universe.

Reviews for Veiled Alliances
31 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Anderson's Saga of the Seven Suns is a rich and sprawling science fiction epic. This gorgeously rendered graphic novel provides background information for the series - a prequel. Most of the story can be gleaned from the first two novels of the series. However, this is an alternative format (graphic novel) that is a nice companion to the series. The plot is limited but clearly revealed and leads directly into the series. The art work is excellent and the dialog easy to follow. Full color throughout, glossy pages. A worthwhile addition to the "Saga."
